In the year 1866 a storekeeper named
Donald Cameron, carrying on business
in what was known as the Woolshed,
Victoria, was elected first member Of par
lament for the Ovens district, and he had
the honor-unique in the history of the
colony-of being driven in triumph from
the Woolshed into Beechworth in a gig
with tandem team, the leading horse of
which was shod with gold.
Just before the election an eccentric in
dividual, known as Tinker Brown, who
had made a lot of money on the diggins,
suddenly purchased a circus, with tents,
horses, and wagons complete, and, COM
ing into Beechworth with his company,
he offered to drive the newly elected
member, and supply golden horseshoes
for the occasion. The Woolshed bosses,
who were greatly 'elated at the result of
the election, warmly took up Browns
idea, and they resolved, in addition, to
present their member with q diamond
scarf pin.
The horseshoes were made by a work
ing jeweler named Tofield, and weighed
nine each. The team was driven
from Woolshed to Beechworth, and back
as far as La Serena hill. On removing
the shoes of the leader "a piebald circus
horse they were found to have lost n
total of 1 3-4 ounces. Before Tinker
Brown died he willed them to IA married
daughter keeping a public house at Wagga
Wagga. They were in existence until
ABOUT four years ago, when the owner
had them melted and turned into sover-
signs. Colonial Mail.

Wanted n Divorce.

Mrs. Mary Cluney came to Judge
Fishers Office accompanied by a young
couple who have been married about two
months. Mrs. Cluney stated that the
couple desired to have the judge give
them a divorce at once. The Judge ex-
cused himself from so doing, and in
formed them that as justice of the peace
he did not possess quite as much author
ity over that matter as some people sup
posed. The only trouble appears to be
that they have had tempers, and are,
consequently, in a family jar" all the
